Based on an extremely stable ceramic dielectric and offering high serial resonant frequency (SRF) and parallel resonant frequency (PRF), the Vishay Vitramon device released today is designed to provide reliable performance in critical applications such as UHF and microwave RF power amplifiers, filter and impedance matching networks, timing circuits, mixers, and oscillators.

The QUAD HIFREQ 2525 device offers a broad working voltage from 300 V to 3600 V and a wide capacitance range from 1.0 pF to 2700 pF. The device offers tight tolerances to +/- 0.1 pF, an excellent aging rate of 0 % per decade, and an operating temperature range of -55 °C to +125 °C.

Samples and production quantities of the QUAD HIFREQ 2525 MLCC are available now, with a lead time of nine weeks for larger orders. Pricing for U.S. delivery only starts at $1.00 per piece.
